Fantastic Lens w/ Amazing VR
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This lens is fantastic. It’s sharp from 70mm all the way to 200mm wide open. It’s a great low light lens. VR is amazing. The build quality is top notch. It doesn’t lengthen to expand to 200mm. It does that internally. The weather sealing is also great. I am in love with this lens. This is the only zoom lens I would ever consider to use for portraits. Just a fantastic lens all around **the best thing about this lens is the Vibration Reduction or VC as they call it. It’s 2nd to none. Better than lenses twice the price. The stills VR setting is such a fantastic feature. It will allow you to hand hold shots at very low shutter speeds. You can shoot 200mm at 1/30 SS or even lower.

Nice lens for the price
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I don't make money with my photos, so the Tamron 70-200mm is a much more affordable option for me. I think that this is an excellent lens. I rarely took it off my camera until I purchased the Nikon 200-500mm. I've used it to take my son's and niece's senior portraits. I would recommend this lens.

What experts are saying
Q: QuestionWhy can Best Buy not answer the question? It is in stock at other vendors..Why not Best Buy?
Asked by KPSRA.
- A:Answer I actually went to the local store and asked..they had no real answer to give me and left with no help in solving this problem. I next called the Customer service line and asked if it would ever be in stock (because I think sometimes it says Backordered and this one does not...it says SOLD OUT). I was told it would be in stock but no time was ever given or estimated..I assume it will never be as all other vendors I looked at had it. So I just bought it at BH and BestBuy lost the sale.

Q: QuestionWhich is beteer Sigma or tamron 70-200mm?
Asked by Bryan.
- A:Answer I have been told that the Sigma is not as good as Tamron but I have not used a sigma. What I can say is that I FINALLY got a Tamron 70-200 2.8 G2 and LOVE IT! I have rented the Nikon Version as well and although there is a small amount of difference.... it's not $1300 worth if you are on a budget! Hope this helps
